Idaho Dispatch News Story About Evidence Presented By St. Luke's At Civil Trial

Mr. Bundy posted a video late this afternoon listing four reasons he chose not to defend himself in court.

"Reason Number One is that courts are used by the rich and powerful to hurt innocent people"

Bundy alluding to how legally established courts did wrongs in the segregated southern states, in Germany during the Nazi period, the show trials of Stalin.

Also cited the Reformation when "heresy" convictions by courts led to executions.

Bundy said that the courts in Idaho's largest and most urban county (Ada) have become unjust based on his previous experiences with those courts in relation to his COVID protest trials.

Those courts have been as he sees it taken over by radical and extreme political and sexual activists.

"Reason Number Two there is no part of taking Baby Cyrus from his parents that was just or right in any way none and I refuse to legitimize the court proceedings in this case by participating in them..."

"Reason Number Three from the beginning of this litigation I considered the enormous burden that fighting this case would put on my family, on my time and on my finances..."

"Reason Number Four and the final reason I don't believe that rights are maintained in the courts and I've been in the courts a lot...

rights are often diminished in the courts...

rights are preserved only by claiming them, using them and defending them...

it has nothing to do with judges or juries, it has nothing to do with votes or elections...

for many of you out there I apologize for bursting your political bubble of hope that the next election is going to bring you some freedom...

it requires physical defensive action to remain free..."
